What Is Technical indicator?

A technical indicator, or just an indicator, is a calculated value indicating something about the state of the market.

Indicators are usually based on OHLCV data.

By combining several indicators through technical analysis, one can create automated trading strategies.

Example technical indicators are e.g. EMA (exponential moving average) and Average Directional Index (ADX).

If you are developing your algorithmic trading strategy using Trading Strategy framework, see Technical analysis documentation for available technical indicators.
